Mike Brown set to be next Lakers head coach by the Sports Network
The Los Angeles Lakers are working on a deal to make Mike Brown their next head coach.
The club issued a statement on Wednesday evening clarifying the issue.
“In response to rampant speculation and reports about our head coaching position and Mike Brown, we’ve met with Mike and are very impressed with him. In addition, we have an outline for an agreement in place and hope to sign a contract within the next few days.”
According to the Los Angeles Times, the Lakers have offered the former Cleveland Cavaliers coach a three-year contract worth between $4 million and $5 million per season. The pact would apparently also include a team option for a fourth year.
Brown spent five years with the LeBron James-led Cavaliers and guided the club to a record of 272-138 with playoff appearances each year. The Cavs reached the NBA Finals in 2007 and were swept by San Antonio.
After a 66-16 record in 2008-09, Brown was named the NBA’s Coach of the Year, but the Cavaliers bowed out in the Eastern Conference finals that spring to Orlando. He was fired following the 2009-10 campaign that included a mark of 61-21 in the regular season, but a second-round playoff exit to Boston.
The Lakers need a replacement for Phil Jackson, who indicated at the conclusion of the playoffs he wouldn’t return to coaching and would instead retire.
The first coach in NBA history to lead a team to three consecutive championships three different times and an 11-time NBA titlist, Jackson owns a 229-104 postseason record, with his 229 victories being the most of any NBA coach in playoff history. Additionally, Jackson’s 333 career playoff games are also the most of any coach in playoff history.
The 65-year-old Jackson, inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007, saw his team swept out of the playoffs by Dallas in the Western Conference semifinals.
